Of course it made sense to pull the targeting cards, that way we would in fairness absorb the Russian first strike, and if any one was left alive with valid cards, they could just stick them back in and launch on those pesky Ruskies ... Clinton and the Third Wayists loved to equalize things - which went along way to justifying selling most every military secret to the Chinese for campaign contributions.
After Obama sells what’s left to the Chinese in his pending deal, Hillary will have almost nothing to left to sell. O’ the humanity!
Russian first strike, in 1992 really?
Russia couldn’t find it’s butt with both hands and a road map in the early 1990’s. Their people were rioting, Boris (hic’) Yeltsen was ?President?, maybe.
The point I was making is we discovered we had other enemies, that needed watching, and those cards would have to be reprogrammed, or replaced with updates/new technology.
So just to say Clinton pulled the ICBM targeting cards, is an incomplete thought, and no we weren’t told if or when they were replaced, and we weren’t told who they’re pointed at now. The world needs to wonder if one is pointed at their country.
Also ICBM’s were and are becoming more and more obsolete. We have enough fire power floating around under the ocean, and in bombers stationed around the world that we can destroy the world 10-20 times over. Those weapons arrive on our enemies doorstep a lot sooner than ICBM’s
I care much more about an active working missile defense system. That scares me more than whether the ICBM’s will fly.
